I'm a stay at home mama living in PDX with the hubs Chris, our two boys and two cats. We are living in (and slowly fixing up) our first house, a midcentury ranch. Jesus has captured my heart, and I am so thankful!
This little blog is mostly about our adventures as a family of four, with the possibility of a recipe or craftiness sprinkled in there.

look at these too!

This last week was pretty mellow for us.
Friday night we met up with our friends Craig and Lauren at Pok Pok Noi for a double date night dinner. It's our favorite place to go with the Hartmann's, and we all always order the same thing (spicy fish sauce wings) I don't even like wings, eating meat off of a bone, or anything even remotely spicy BUT I could totally eat these all day long. They are that good. That was pretty much the highlight of our week because the next day we all got colds and were out of commission.
We watched lots of movies and had a lot of soup.
Chris took Monday off from work (he never takes sick days) but luckily we've all been feeling a little better each day.

Buck and I took a quick trip to the store:

Diaper hang out time:

On Wednesday the sun was out and we were feeling up to playing outside for the afternoon.
We washed Bennett's wagon:

and we drew with chalk out front:

Thursday we met up with Lauren and Fern and went to
Bennett's favorite park which is right by their house.
Buck kind of liked it too:

On the way back to their house, Bennett got tired of walking and Lauren told him to hop on her back:(Yes that is her hand holding him, I'm not even sure how she was able to do that with her arm)

Bennett got to visit with their 18 baby chicks:(yes I said 18!)

I feel like I've been in an uninspired cooking rut lately,
so I have been trying to gather new recipes this week:(the old fashioned way, which is kind of a nice change from Pinterest)

And that was our week.
Boring, I know but that's totally fine with me.
I like boring.

I like boring weeks too :-)... May I recommend a couple dinners from the Smitten Kitchen cookbook?: her squash tacos, rye grilled cheeses, slow cooker black beans, and wild rice kale gratin... these recipes were all a hit with James also
